WHY MERCURY IS USED AS A MANOMETER LIQUID? The mercury is used as manometer liquid for following reasons. (i) It has high density so that mercury rise is reasonable for a pressure. (ii) It is immiscible with the liquid flowing in the pipes. (iii) It does not stride to the s/p of the tubes of the manometer. (iv) The vapour pressure is negligible at from temperature. (v) It does not react chemically with most of the liquids flowing through pipes.
